The Myth of Renewable Energy

Posted by timothy on from the in-the-long-run-we're-all-exhausted dept.

Harperdog writes to this "Excellent piece by Dawn Stover about what renewables can and can't do. The sun and wind may be practically inexhaustible, but 'renewable' energy isn't. Solar, wind, and geothermal power are not fundamentally different from other energy technologies that consume finite natural resources. Good reading for anyone who thinks they know how to combat climate change."

    Indeed, cold kills. Only fools think that a planet that's 1C warmer would be a bad place to live.
